"I have visited several hospitals and facilities that are dedicated to helping all who have been affected by this disease, including people who are addicted, babies born addicted and families coping with addiction of a loved one."

CNN reported that Trump saw the biggest drop of support among people who also don't support Donald Trump. The organization's polling found that Trump's favorability dropped 6 percent among people who approve of Donald Trump's actions as president, but dropped 11 percent among those who don't approve of Donald Trump as president.
